Ben Macauley and his have so far resisted the temptation to look ahead to the final game of the regular season in Victoria against the Westshore Rebels.

Still, if the pecking order in the BCFC standings doesn害羞草研究所檛 change before Saturday, Oct. 7, then that game will ultimately decide first place in the conference.

With three weeks remaining, the Sun (6-0-1) leads the defending champion Rebels (6-1-0) by a single point for top spot.

害羞草研究所淚 think that害羞草研究所檚 good for us,害羞草研究所� Macauley said of a potential season-ending match-up for first against Westshore. 害羞草研究所淭hat means the playoffs will just start a week early for our guys. We want to be competitive heading into the post season and having something on the line will certainly be motivation for us.

害羞草研究所淩ight now, it害羞草研究所檚 not about winning first place, it害羞草研究所檚 about doing our jobs and getting better each week,害羞草研究所� he added. 害羞草研究所淭aking a loss at this point of the season would be a step backwards. Whatever situation we end up in, we害羞草研究所檒l prepare to deal with it.害羞草研究所�

But it害羞草研究所檚 first things for first for the Sun who have three games remaining, including this Saturday in Kamloops against the Broncos (1-6). Okanagan will also have to take down the Langley Rams (4-3-0) on Oct. 1 at home for the season finale to still carry meaning.

In addition to fine-tuning over the final stretch of the regular season, the Sun will be in evaluation mode as Macauley and his staff look to settle on their 40-man postseason roster.

害羞草研究所淲e have a few guys left to give an opportunity to show us what they can do, see how they respond as we look to complete our roster for the playoffs,害羞草研究所� Macauley said of about five to 10 players who are on the bubble for the postseason. 害羞草研究所淔or the guys who don害羞草研究所檛 make it, that害羞草研究所檚 the tough reality, a tough pill for them.

害羞草研究所淲e害羞草研究所檝e been preaching that every player has a role,害羞草研究所� he added. 害羞草研究所淲e need to show appreciation for those guys who are going to sit out, because they害羞草研究所檙e just as important to the team.害羞草研究所�

The Sun gave plenty of reps to their second and third stringers on Saturday in Chillwack in

害羞草研究所淗e had a fantastic game,害羞草研究所� Macauley said of Simonise. 害羞草研究所淗e害羞草研究所檚 a big target where you don害羞草研究所檛 have to be quite as accurate, he害羞草研究所檚 tough to guard. He came in with a great attitude and has certainly added a big weapon to our offense.害羞草研究所�
